drawing the black tips... 

I could only find a nail art pen at Duane Reade.

I would have opted for a detail brush to do it free hand, 

but I gave this one a shot... 

It was okay, but it only gave me enough freedom to do the tips, 

it was too marker-like to do a full outline.

On the glitter finger I globbed on 3 coats of the glitter over the base.

note: don't even try to get the glitter off on your own. 

go to a manicurist. it can be annoyingly difficult.

I think I can do better, but for a first attempt... not so bad.

I got the correct supplies & finished the job today.

Kiss nail art paint (with a skinny brush) $7.99 at Duane Reade for a 3 pack set

(black, white & silver glitter)

& with a steady hand, carefully outline your nails.

It really wasn't that difficult. I promise.

Now... i'm super happy with this.

Oop! this just popped up on missladyfinger.com

but not before mine :) & I did mine a little differently.
